Looking for heatsink and/or case to buy. Exists? Or for another sbc accessorie with compatible size?

Rock 4D heatsink / case
The Rock 4D doesn’t have any mounting holes in the PCB to be able to attach a heatsink/fan. When it launched I asked Radxa about this and they said I could use the 2513 heatsink fan.
However having played with the Rock 4D for a bit, it actually runs cool without any heatsink even when stressing the CPU.
You could also use any of the Raspberry Pi passive heatsinks with it.
I don’t know about compatible cases.
Thank you for replying @3djelly. I’ll try 2513 heatsink fan and Raspberry Pi’s passive heatsinks kits, hoping the size of components are close to those of Rock 4D… Which one’s do you think are the closest RPI 3? 4? What models?
As a general rule the bigger the heat sink the better its going to work in dissipating heat. Having one that fits the exact size is not important at all as the RK3576 runs cool, I had an old MOSFET heatsink lying around which I put on until the 2513 fan was in stock to buy.
